Chapter 111

The first ray of morning sun shone through the window, falling on the wooden floor of the workshop, forming a piece of warm golden light spot.

Luo En stood in the center of the training room, took a deep breath, and felt the increasingly strong energy flow in his body.

He closed his eyes, and his thoughts drifted to his bloodline origin.

The Ralf family—this ancient family that has existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Faruk.

According to family ancient books, their bloodline can be traced back to the Hydra, a hegemon of the God Age.

However, in fact, every knight noble who has bloodline inheritance can trace their ancestors back to extremely powerful extraordinary creatures.

This is nothing strange; everyone's ancestors were once powerful, and the current Ralf family can at most awaken ordinary swamp multi-headed snake bloodlines.

The Ralf family crest features a multi-headed snake pattern, symbolizing the family's roots and power.

Before in the kingdom, he was confused about why humans would have the bloodline of big poisonous snakes or dragon species.

He even had some inappropriate fantasies because of this; now it seems... everything is just the experimental product of wizards.

"But now..."

Luo En muttered to himself, his fingers stroking his arm, where golden meridian patterns were vaguely visible under the skin; this was the "Sun-Day Protection" characteristic obtained after practicing the "Sun Crown Breathing Method."

Since taking the improved "Sun Flame Essence" and breaking through, he often felt a heat flowing in his body; that feeling was both strange and strangely familiar, as if some power that had been sleeping for a long time was gradually waking up.

"The multi-headed snake bloodline of the Ralf family and the Sun Flame Dragon sub-species bloodline stimulated by the "Sun Crown Breathing Method"... two completely different extraordinary bloodlines coexist in my body."

Luo En fell into deep thought:

"Plus the 'Retracing' characteristic I just obtained, perhaps I can retrace to a purer and more ancient bloodline form."

The possibility of this multiple bloodline superposition made Luo En's heartbeat accelerate.

Of course, this expectation also carried caution.

Bloodline activation is a double-edged sword; loss of direction control or excessive strength may lead to distortion.

But with the "Retracing" characteristic and the precise bloodline activation potion he prepared, perhaps these risks can be minimized.

"In any case, there will be a chance to reveal the answer in a few days." Luo En said softly and opened his eyes slowly.

He raised his hand, picked up the ironwood sword placed on the side, and skillfully made a series of basic sword moves.

Every movement was like flowing water, the sword momentum was natural and smooth, without any extra power.

Every muscle in the body was collaborating precisely, and every sword strike carried a heart-palpitating precision and sharpness.

The sword light crossed beautiful arcs in the morning light, making a slight whistling sound, as if the air was being cut open.

[Current progress: Basic Sword Skills (Mastery max)]

"It has indeed reached the top..." Luo En muttered in his heart, putting the sword back into the sheath: "Continuing to practice will not increase experience points."

Basic sword skills have reached the limit, and the professional panel shows that it will not have any improvement.

In this case, continuing to practice sword moves purely is obviously a waste of time; anyway, with panel solidification, the level will not retreat without practice.

"If you want to go further in sword skills, I'm afraid you have to wait until you advance to [Magic Swordsman]."

"Before that, just focus on spells."

Today is the second week since he officially moved into the workshop. In order to save the time of extra running, Eric and Lia arranged the weekly tests together, and after passing, they could go directly to the second-stage courses.

"I have to go to the weekly test in the afternoon, so let's practice spells first."

Luo En smiled slightly and turned his hand to the spellcasting medium on the other side—an exquisitely crafted silver bracelet.

This was something he bought specifically some time ago, which could better guide the flow of magic and improve spell efficiency, costing about a dozen magic stone fragments.

Although it was only a primary alchemy creation, it was enough to be used for assistance at his current stage.

Luo En stood in the open space of the workshop, took a deep breath, and adjusted his breathing and mental state. He raised his hands, closed his eyes, and felt the flow of magic in his body.

He first focused on perceiving the energy field in the room, and then gradually turned his attention to the small creature used for special training: a white experimental mouse placed in a transparent glass cover.

This specially cultivated mouse is extremely sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations and is an ideal object for practicing spiritual interference spells.

"Spiritual interference..."

Luo En's spiritual power began to gather, condensing into a fine ripple that was almost invisible.

This ripple looked fragile, but it actually contained a carefully constructed spiritual interference model, which could act on the biological nervous system and cause temporary confusion or dizziness.

He repeatedly adjusted the frequency and intensity of the ripples, trying to find the best balance point.

Too weak would not produce results, and too strong might cause permanent damage to the experimental mouse, making the experimental product useless.

The first few attempts were not ideal.

The first time, the experimental mouse had almost no reaction;

The second time, it just shook its ears slightly;

The third time, it stopped moving for a short time, but soon returned to normal.

"Not precise enough..." Luo En frowned.

He closed his eyes, completely immersed in spiritual construction, trying more complex ripple structures.

This time, he constructed a ring-shaped spiritual fluctuation, which theoretically could act more precisely on specific brain regions.

"Fourth attempt..."

With the release of spiritual power, an invisible ripple shot precisely toward the glass cover.

This time, the effect was immediate—the experimental mouse suddenly stopped all movements, as if frozen in place, its eyes becoming confused and empty.

To be precise, this was not a simple stop, but a specific nerve interference state; Luo En could clearly perceive that the experimental mouse's brain activity was briefly suspended by him.

Dozens of seconds later, the experimental mouse returned to normal, but it was obviously a bit tired and confused, which was the typical sequelae after being spiritually interfered with.

[Spiritual Interference experience points +1]

[Breakthrough! Spiritual Interference (Introductory 50/50) -> Spiritual Interference (Proficient 1/100)]

[Obtained additional characteristic: Lag Circle (In a specific range, the interference effect is increased)]

"Success!" Luo En cheered softly, feeling the subtle changes in the flow of spiritual power in his body.

After a short rest, he began to practice "Spell Construction," which is the foundation of all spells and determines the caster's control over magic and the stability of the spell model.

He picked up a special crystal ball, which is a tool specifically used for practicing spell construction.

The crystal ball can reflect the caster's magic control status in real time, and any subtle fluctuations and instabilities will be revealed in the ball.

"What I want to try this time is the triple superposition configuration..."

Luo En muttered to himself, which is an advanced technique he saw in the book "Essentials of Wizard Modeling," usually only experienced casters can complete it.

He introduced a stream of spiritual power into the crystal ball and began to construct the spell model inside.

Initially, it was a simple ring structure, then gradually increased complexity, adding the second and third layers of configuration, each layer maintaining a specific resonance relationship with the previous layer.

Complex light patterns gradually appeared inside the crystal ball, initially blurry, but as Luo En constantly adjusted, the light patterns became clearer and more stable.

This process consumed extreme spiritual power, Luo En's forehead was covered with sweat, and his breathing became a bit rapid.

But he persisted, constantly fine-tuning every detail until the triple configuration in the crystal ball reached a perfect balance.

"That's it..."

When the last trace of instability was eliminated, the light patterns in the crystal ball suddenly became unusually bright and stable, and the three ring configurations perfectly superimposed together, forming a harmonious and unified whole.

[Spell Construction experience points +1]

[Breakthrough! Spell Construction (Introductory 50/50) -> Spell Construction (Proficient 1/100)]

[Obtained additional characteristic: Stable State (The stability of the spell model is slightly increased, and the magic consumption is slightly decreased)]

"Accumulated for so many days, finally completed the breakthrough today."

Luo En muttered to himself, looking at his double breakthrough with satisfaction.

The promotion of these two skills can just come in handy in today's weekly test.

After practicing spells, Luo En sat cross-legged and began his daily meditation practice.

As he entered the meditation state, his consciousness gradually sank into that familiar starry sky—the unique consciousness realm of "The Whisper of the Star Eater."

As always, in that deep universe, countless living stars flickered with strange light, as if whispering.

But today, Luo En found that those stars seemed to be more active than usual; their light was more dazzling, and the whispering sound was clearer.

Even, he seemed to be able to understand the intermittent words among them:

"...come... back..."

Luo En's heart jumped violently; this was the first time he had heard such a clear "voice" in meditation.
